Crime
Crime opens with no light relief — leather and oud arrive together, dense and immediate, with heliotrope lending a faint almond-powder softness that keeps the composition from reading as purely austere.

By the editors · 2 min readCrime opens with no light relief — leather and oud arrive together, dense and immediate, with heliotrope lending a faint almond-powder softness that keeps the composition from reading as purely austere. The effect is close to raw hide meeting incense smoke.
In the heart, tonka bean adds a quiet sweetness beneath the leather, rounding rather than sugaring it. Oud threads through both heart and base, giving structural continuity rather than a simple chord shift.
Sandalwood, cedar, and amber ground the dry-down with warmth, pulling the whole thing toward a resinous skin impression. This is a dark, close-wearing fragrance — deliberate and unhurried, suited to evening use.
